Pads & Panels: Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

Splinter Cell: Conviction is not only the best Splinter Cell title to date, but also the most accessible entry in the covert ops series. Sam Fisher, the series' protagonist, is old and graying, out of the game (officially) and fed up with his old agency, but that's not stopping him from looking for answers to a series of betrayals. It's this backdrop that allows the game to be a lot more action-oriented and less overly-complex stealth-focused as its predecessors. It's a great balancing act Ubisoft Montreal pulls off.
